Loyalty not rewarded

The nomadic don’t go out for the day. They tend to be here tonight and gone tomorrow as the name implies. You’d probably not even notice them in view of their transient ways. 👍🏻

However, whatever folk do, they shouldn't be ridiculed, looked down on or even commented on for their choice.

Euro, surely you realise that those supermarket schemes in particular which they wrap up as loyalty rewards are actually data gathering and marketing exercises.

As JVB stated, they are not that prevalent on CMC sites.

All companies gather data about me, and it doesn't trouble me at all.

If Emirates Airways chooses to collect data and add up how many miles I have flown with them and reward me with an upgrade every now and then that's OK with me. If Tesco chooses to collect data to know how much I have spent with them and reward me with cash vouchers in return then that's OK too. Good business practice. 

Waitrose on the other hand knows how little I spend with them so sends me offers to try to persuade me to do better. Good business practice too.

I am sure this Club also collects data and knows exactly how much or how little I have spent with them in the last twelve months - but does nothing about it either way. No rewards for spending, and no encouragement to spend more. That seems bad business practice.

I disagree but as I'm on the road and not staying on site, I’m not there counting them. Anyway, does it matter?

I'll give you an example of loyalty. I have the gold watch my father got when he had worked 25 years for the same company. 

I worked for 33 years for a large metropolitan council and after 25 years I could have had tea with the Lord Mayor. Mind you if I wanted my OH to accompany me I would have had to pay for her!
